TOMMY HAAS should be backed at 2-1 with Bet365 to win his first round match with defending French Open champion Juan-Carlos Ferrero at Roland Garros on Tuesday.

Ferrero, the fourth seed and a best-priced 4-9 with Sportingbet, has been hampered by sore ribs and a wrist problem and was contemplating withdrawing on Sunday.

The Spaniard pulled out of the Hamburg Masters earlier this month and has been prevented from training properly. He visited Spain on Saturday to attend the royal wedding and, after returning to Paris, reported himself to be feeling unwell after a morning training session on Sunday.
